Nationwide PPI

leodog456

Hi, new to the forum. I am in the process of claiming ppi from Nationwide. As part of my claim I have indicated that at the time of the credit card I was a local government worker with 12 months full sickness benefits. I was called today by Nationwide asking to provide proof of my employment status to proceed with the claim. I asked if this was a legal requirement, they replied yes. I have moved several times since then and don't have proof, do I need supply the information required byNationwide? On a positive note Bank of Scotland have agreed to pay me £4'000 for ppi.

You are the one making the accusations of wrong-doing, so you have to present evidence to support your accusations. You complain that your employment package at the time meant that you didn't need the insurance. Do you really expect the Bank to just take your word for it?
You don't have to supply the evidence requested, but it significantly weakens your complaint if you don't.

You are the one making the allegation. so they can ask you to back up what you allege. If you dont have it then they can make a decision without your ability to prove that.

How about supplying them a copy of your pension statement. That should have your joining date and leaving date on it.

Presumably you were in the Local Govt. pension scheme at the time so you should have paperwork showing your deferred benefits which usually gives the dates of employment, luckily this is not the sort of thing people usually throw away and would provide the proof that nationwide require.
